If K = {x : x ∈ N, x ≥ 50}, what type of set is K?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
The natural numbers satisfying x ≥ 50 are 50, 51, 52, 53, and so on. There is no greatest natural number, so more elements can always be added to the list. Consequently, K has infinitely many elements and is an infinite set, not a finite or singleton set.
